Sparrowhawk is an advanced portable ground-based radar system that provides safe and effective DAA (detect and avoid) capabilities for BVLOS drone flights. Based on cutting-edge computer vision techniques, it provides the situational awareness required for an exponential increase in operational coverage, enabling up to 1400 square kilometers with a single radar.

Designed to be installed into a mid-sized vehicle, Sparrowhawk solves both the SWaP budget problems of airborne DAA radars and the costs associated with traditional ground-based equipment. The complete system is comprised of radar hardware, a Software-Defined Radio (SDR) dongle, an ADS-B antenna, and airspace management software. Sparrowhawk’s simple API also allows you to integrate its data output into your own ground control station or UTM (unmanned traffic management) system.

Tasker is an all-in-one software solution for professional drone services organizations, providing comprehensive functionality that covers all elements of drone fleet management.

The software offers a wide variety of useful features, including:
